The reason the writer credit goes to D. Ierace is because Donnie Iris was born Domenic Ierace. There's the reasoning for that....those songs must've been reigstered under his birth name and not his stage name.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:44:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3583&PID=16769&title=donnie-iris-ah-leah#16769 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3583&PID=16767&title=donnie-iris-ah-leah#16767 Author: MCT1

I notice that the writing credits on both versions of the "Ah! Leah!" 45 use the original spelling of Iris' last name, "Ierace". On Ed's scans of Iris' other two hits, the writing credit is spelled "Iris".

Also, all three of these songs were produced and co-written by Mark Avsec. Avsec was a member of the group Wild Cherry, of "Play That Funky Music" fame. IINM, Iris was also in that group for a time in the late '70s, although he didn't join until after "Play That Funky Music".      ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:52:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3583&PID=16767&title=donnie-iris-ah-leah#16767 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3583&PID=16757&title=donnie-iris-ah-leah#16757 Author: Hykker

Interesting, apparently MCA picked up distribution of this at some point in the song's chart run.

my commercial 45 issued as mca/carousel 51025 contains a non described version with a listed run time of 3:41 and indeed does run that length...the 45 is identical to the version below....
